Is Life is Beautiful - Lil Peep Halal or Haram?

Across the schools of thought analyzed, the highest verdict for "Life is Beautiful - Lil Peep" is Caution (2/5).

Is Life is Beautiful - Lil Peep halal according to Sistani?

Haram (1/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's Expert Recognition Test, the tune of this song—characterized by a melodic emo-rap/trap beat with somber guitar loops—is structurally of the type suitable for modern entertainment and amusement gatherings. Sistani explicitly rules that the psychological effect of the music (whether it depresses, relaxes, or soothes the listener) is entirely irrelevant to the ruling. Because the underlying musical style is commercially produced for entertainment contexts, an expert would recognize the tune type as suitable for such gatherings, rendering it forbidden.

Is Life is Beautiful - Lil Peep halal according to Khamenei?

Likely Haram (2/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's framework, the song is evaluated holistically to determine if it has a lahwī character that deviates the listener from the path of Allah. The lyrical content heavily emphasizes existential nihilism ('I think that life is horrible') and suicidal ideation ('if I try suicide, would you stop me?'). In Islamic theology, despairing of Allah's mercy (ya's) is a major spiritual sin. The song's promotion of absolute hopelessness and carelessness regarding the sanctity of life, combined with a commercial trap beat suitable for gatherings of amusement, gives it an overall lahwī character that drives the listener toward spiritual darkness and carelessness.
